Unfortunately I won't be able to make it as we are beginning recovering from Tom's time in nursing school. Also, we're planning to ttc around that time, so that's where my focus for that month will be.

Okay..Melissa M. and I are coming..YIPPEE.. I am actually flying from CT to DC on Tues. night - then we'll drive up from VA to W. VA on Wed ~ and share a room ~ then drive back to VA Friday night and I'll fly home to CT on Saturday. I got lucky and got a cheap/non-stop flight for just $135....yeah...cutting costs as much as we can.

Question? What will YOU be packing to wear? I know it may seem silly, but I want to be prepared for the conf, fun, etc.

We're a pretty casual group so don't get all concerned about fashion statements :-) And do let us know if you're planning on bringing children. I have two boys -- ages 3+ and 5+ -- and will bring them if they'll have company. Otherwise, if everybody is flying solo we'll cancel the children's program we're planning.
